Sweet Alien Carrots!

Today I harvested all my carrots. I am truly surprised by their shapes and sizes. Definitely too small. This batch was grown in a small pot in using herb and veggie soil pot. They get plenty of sunlight and water. I believe the small size is due to too much competition in the same pot. As a consolation, they taste great though.

Harvested Cos Lettuce and Pok Choy

Pok Choy Growth

Iceberg Lettuce

This is the harvested look of first successful pot of Iceberg lettuce. Iceberg lettuce grows much slower than Pok Choy. From seedlings to this size, it takes 2 months. It's very satisfying to eat homegrown green, fresh, crunchy and organic.

Lots of Chilli Seedlings

These chilli seedlings are grown from chilli seeds. It takes about 2 months (summer time) for them to get to this stage.

Chilli No. 2 - Lots of seedlings transplanted from the milk bottle greenhouse.

Chilli No. 3 -

Chilli No. 1

Despite constant aphids attack, Chilli No. 1 is bearing fruit nicely. 

Progress of other transplanted mint

Mint Pot No. 3 and No 4. are growing nicely but rather slowly. These were transplanted using older mint roots and that might be why the growth is slower than Mint Pot 2.

Mint Pot Number 1

Mint Pot No. 1 was trimmed bare a month ago. One month later it is ready to be harvested again.

Growing more Pok Choy in DIY greenhouse

For combating aphids, I am keeping the baby Pok Choy inside a big clear plastic container. I don't fully cover them, if I do they'll burn. I tape a big black plastic bag on top of the plastic container to avoid overheating the veggie.
